Nope. I like the way my front works. I could have tucked the lowers up more, but the rears hang in the same place and I really don't have issues. I keep meaning to flat belly between the two. One of these days.

That is pretty funny, JohnMany if not a majority of the most expensive and well-engineered Ultra-4 cars use two-piece drive shafts to solve the very problem you are facing. I would hesitate to call them "funky". Below is an example of John Reynold's UFO car from the Pirate board.
If your T-case is angled up at 6-7 degrees, you could run a two-piece shaft with no more than 3-3.5 degrees angle on any of the u-joints -- and that is without tilting the front pinion at all.
My similar drivetrain has identical length drive shafts front and back. 25" IIRC, but it's been awhile.
3 Link --
Well it sounds like you are getting lots of good advice about your driveshaft. I had to do a CV driveshaft when I did mine. I don't have any vibration or binding problems.
When you are doing your 3 link, double and triple check your caster. It can make a huge difference in drivability. If you do have to rotate your 60, you will probably have to cut and turn it as well.
I learned a lot while, during and after doing my 3 link. I would definitely do a 3 link front, just because a 4 link makes packaging hard. I used Johnny Joints in my links with the long shank so that I could adjust the length. I would try and keep the links as long as possible.
